PTA Membership Drive
Our PTA membership drive was a great success! Thank you to all of the parents who signed up, to our teachers for encouraging families to join and for our PTA for treating the winning class (and our teachers) to a pizza lunch on Friday. Congratulations to Ms. Desmond’s second grade class and Ms. Kinney’s 6th grade class for having the most parent sign ups.
